THE )IARCII TO TIII] SEA.

[In the cut the upward curves show the gen-
eral line of march of the Tw cnticth corps, the

plaudits of his countrymen, feeling that
they might at any moment he turned to
blame. Hood, as anticipated, soon ap-
peared in Sherman‘s rear, and began to at—
tack the railroad supplying the Union
army.

Sherman cast longing eyes 011 Mobile
and Savannah—anywhere to shorten his
line of supply. Meanwhile he sent Thomas
back to Chattanooga to look after Hood
and protect his present line from Atlanta
to Louisville. He then conceived the plan
of marching to the sea, there to meet
transports loaded with provisions. Gen.
Grant strongly advised him to turn and
destroy Hood before entering upon his
proposed move.

Sherman replied that if he could hope to
overhaul Hood he would turn againsthim
withhis whole force, but that he feared
Hood would retreat southwestward with a
view of drawing him from Georgia. “Still,”
said Sherman, “if he attempts to invade
middle Tennessee I will hold Decatur, and
be prepared to move in that direction; but
unless I let go ofAt-lanta my force will not
be equal to his.” Sherman also added in
another dispatch to Grant, “If I turn back
110w the whole effect of my campaign will
be lost.” Grant replied: “I do not see how
you can withdraw from where you are to
follow 11p Hood without giving up all we
have gainedin territory. I say, then, go
on asyou propose.” So the great march
was begun.

Sixty thousand men made a holiday
march over the territory lying between At-
lanta and the ocean. The march to the
sea has doubtless done more to attach fame
to the name of Sherman among the masses
than any campaign he planned 01' execut-
ed. There is somethinginit so different
from the ordinary lead and powder and
blood of war. The men were so happy.

“Uncle Billy, I guess Grant is waiting
for 11s at. Richmond,” they called out as
Sherman passed them 011 the march. There
were shots fired, but at sheep and chick-
ens; there vas blood spilled, but it was the
blood of November turkeys. It was a jolly,
roistering, reckless army—an army that
had fought for and won the privilege of
roving at will over the territory that was
laid open to it. I11 about thirty days the
advance came to the banks of- Ossibaw
sound,where frowned Fort MacAllister, but
Gen. Hazen’s division formed in line and
walked over the parapets with but little
trouble. Supplies were at hand, sent down
from the. north bysea; the goal was won.
Sherman had a new and safe means of
supply, and the moral efiect of the move
was tremendous.

Sherman says in his “Memoirsz” “I c011-
sidcred this march as a means to an end,
and not as an essential act of war. Still
then, as now, the march to the sea was gen-
erally regarded as something extraordina-
ry, something anomalous, something out
of the usual order of events; whereas, in
fact, I simply moved from Atlanta to Sa-
vannah, as one step in the direction of
Richmond, a movement that had to be
met and defeated or the war was neces-
sarily at an end.” ‘

Finishing the Struggle.

On the first day of February, 1865, Sher—

man started with SS,000 men in pursuit of

 
 

[”1-.]-.. l

the second part of his plan, which was to
strike Richmond from the Carolinas. He
moved up to Columbia, S. C., which he de-
stroyed, and pushed on to Fayetteville, N.

C. The movement to the left was intended
as a feint, but news reached Hardee
(through a New York paper), who was
watching Sherman, that the Union sup-
plies were to be drawn from Goldsboro.

This did away with all effect of deception. 1

From Fayettcville Sherman reported prog-
ress to Grant, assuring himthat he would
be ready to aid him in the spring cam-
paign.

Meanwhile Gen. Joseph E. J ohnstonhad
been placed in commandof the Confeder-
ate'forces in theCaroliuas. On the night
of the 18th of February Gen. Slocum en-
countered J ohnston’s army at Bentonville.
Sherman ordered him to fight defensively
until he should himself-come up with rein-
forcements. \Vhen Sherman arrived he
hesitated to bring on a general engage-
ment, being entirely'ignorant of the force
at J ohnston’s disposal. Besides, he had
but little food in hiS'wagons, and expected
Schofield and Terry to join him from Wil-
mington. Gen. Mower broke through the
Confederate line 011 his extreme left flank.
Sherman ordered him back, but lest the
enemy should concentrate upon him or-
dered a brisk skirmish fire along the line.

Sherman has acknowledged that 11c made
a mistake in not pushing Johnston then.

WA- ‘_-,_

The next (1113' 1'11 - Confederates were gone
and Sherman had missed an opportunity.
Johnston had but 14,000 men, and with the
force at his command Sherman could have
destroyed him.

While Sherman’s march to the sea has
been attended with great eclat, his march
through the Carolinas has been nearly lost
sight of. Yet the distance traversed in the
latter was greater than 1n the former, and

' required the crossing of five navigable

rivers.

It was now possible for Sherman to join
Grant in Virginia, but. again the situation
was embarrassing. Grant and Sherman
now led two different armies in proximity
to Lee, and should Lee elude Grant at Pe-
tersbiirg, join Johnston and attack Sher-

‘ man, if successful thet two mi ght turn and

 

 

 

 

 

'almost any terms
: Johnston rather than have him join Lee

crush Grant. At least this was the appre-
hension of the two leaders, who had learned
one ofwar’s most important maxims, never
to despise an enemy. But either Grant or
Sherman was poWert'ul enough to cope
with the combined Confederate forces, for
by this time the Confederacy was in its
death throe>.

Having arrived at Goldsboro Sherman
went to Fortress Monroe for an interview
with Gen. Grant and Mr. Lincoln. He
has given the testimony of Admiral Por-
ter, who was present at the meeting, to
show that Mr. Lincoln was ready to have
accepted from Gen.

and render the fighting of another battle
necessary. Sherman went back to Golds-
boro and announced his plans to his gen-
erals, but all was rendered unnecessary by
the fall of Richmond. and Petersburg.
Then it was again feared Lee would at-
tempt to join Johnston, and Grant di-
rected Sherman to push on, and, in 004
operation with himself, try, as Grant ex-
pressed it, to “finish the job.” On April
12 Sherman received the news of Lee’s sur-
render.

On the morning of the 14th of April he
received by flag of truce a letter from Gen.
Johnston proposing to surrender. Sher-

. man replied that he would make the terms

of Appomattox a basis. A meeting was ar-
ranged between the two generals, and on
the 17th, as Sherman was about de-
parting to keep his engagement, he re-
ceived the news of the assassination of
President Lincoln. Sherman met J ohn—
ston, who declared he had authority over
all Confederate armies, and that he would

surrender them. but he thought Sherman
ought to give him some guarantee for the
men and officers of their political rights.
Other prominent Confederate officers were
called in, and Sherman wrote terms for
surrender to submit to the new president,
Andrew Johnston. The papers were signed
and forwaided

The taking up of c1vil matters in this
cartel, proposing the guarantee to the “peo-
ple of all the states their political rights
and franchises,” at once insured its disap-
proval at IVashington. Grant joined Sher—
man at Raleigh, by direction of the presi-
dent, for the purpose of assuming com-
mand. New terms were drawn up between
Johnston and Sherman for the surrender
of Johnston’s army alone and approved by
Gen. Grant.

Then came the grand review in YVash—
ington, the flags, the decorations, the en-
thusiastic multitudes, while hundreds of
thousands of veterans marched through
the streets past the reviewing stand. But
one shadow rested upon the throng and
the armies—the memory of those who had
fallen, and that he whose patience, whose
wisdom, whOse kindly disposition had
guided the nation, harmonizing the dis-
cordant elements, pushing always forward
with sublime faith through four years of a
disheartening struggle, was not permitted
to1"'c1'ie1v the victorious armies. Abraham
Lincoln slept with those whom he had
sent into battle.

Gen. Sherman succeeded Grant in the
command of the armies of the United
States when Grant was made president.
At the age of 04 he was retired, and eventu-
ally took up his residence in New York,
and each year has added to the popular
love for the old hero. The humorous feat-
ures of his character have lately become
histor 1c: 11

The actual 11b1l1ty of any eminent man
cannot bcv 'eighcd dispassionatelv in his
own time. Sherman failed signally in the
early part of the war,,,but was eminently
successfulin the latter part. He was al-
ways true to his convictions, and to the
sight with which he. saw the problems be-
fore him. He never did much with little,
but he did a great deal when amply sup-
plied with means. IVhen Grant left him
in command in the west he was free to
prosecute any campaign in his own way.
That he prosecuted the campaign he saw
before him in a masterly way (except his
blunder at Kenesaw), and handled his men
and kept open his communications with
great skill, no one can doubt, but it will
remain for the dispassionate military stu-
dent to determine whether or not his plan
was at fault

\Vhen he started for Atlanta his whole
army amounted to nearly 200,000 etfectives.
The combined Confederate forces that
could have opposed any move he. chose to
make in the west were not more than 50
per cent of the number of his own. His
plan of following Johnston involved the
stringing out of his army from Louisville
to Atlanta. The situation was cumber-
some for Sherman and greatly to his dis-
advantage. The question for the military
critic is, whether he could have done any
better—anything to break up the status of.
chasing one small army which had the ad

vantage of engaginfr only a portion of the
force opposed to 1t,11nd involving a line of
supply to defend extending through a hos-
tile countrv over 800 miles? These ques-
tions mav at times puzzle students of

SHERMAN’S FINAL WISHES.

1 In Accordance with His Last Instruc-

tions Ho \Vill Not. Lie in State or
Be Exposed to the Public—Por-

ter’s Obsequies.
Q

NEW YORK, Feb. 17.—Gen. Sherman’s
body lies in a plain receiving casket in the
back room on the second floor of his resi-
dence in Seventy-first street, where he
breathed his last. . The process of emhalm-
ing has been completed, and Undertaker
\Vigger, who has charge of the burial ar-
rangement-s, will have the casket in which
the body of the old general will be laid
away in its final resting place ready for its
reception Tuesday.

It will be a plain oaken coffin covered
with broadcloth and lined with white
satin. On each side there will be placed
polished silver bars, and on the top a. sil-
ver plate bearin g only the name and the
dates of Gen. Sherman’s birth and death.

There were very few visitors at the house
Monday, and the family for the first time
since the general’s death were free from
the worry and bustle of an almost contin-
ualstream of callers.

Z;_;~" Only the Family Can See Him.

In accordance with the last expressed
wishes of the dead soldier, none of the
visitors will be permit-ted to see his face,
even those who had known him intimate-
ly during his life, and only the members of
his immediate family, and only those
Whose services are absolutely necessary
to the compIeting of the funeral arrange-
ments, have access to the death chamber.
\Vhen the casket is finally closed on Thurs—
day, prior to its removal from the house

to the Pennsylv ania railroad depot, it will ‘

not be opened again.

The family are anxiously awaiting the
arrival of the general’ 3 eldest son, the Rev.
Thomas E. Sherman, the Jesuit priest,
who 1S now 011 his way to this country on
the steamship Majestic. It is expected
that the vessel will arrive here “rednesday
evening, and the final rites will be post-
poned until the latest hour possible Thurs-
day in orde1 to enable the son to look upon
his father’s features for the last time.

Mr. Barrett, the private secretary of the
general, was seen by a reporter. “All the
arrangements for the funeral,” he said,
“have now been left in the hands of Gen.
Howard and Gen. Slocum, and the fam-
ily have nothing more to do with them.
They, are simply taking a much needed
rest after the weary strain which the c011-
tinued watching and anxiety of the past
week has entailed upon them.”

Not to Lie in State.

Gen. Thomas Ewing was one of the early
visitors at the house. He said that al-
though very urgent requests had been
made of the family, especially by the
friends of the general in St. Louis, to per-
mit the body to lie in state for a short time
before final burial in that city, they had
been met with a resolute refusal.

“The general’s last instructions upon
this point,” he said, “were very earnest
and explicit, and his family feel that they
ought to carry out his last desires as nearly
as possible. The only public demonstra-
tion to which he would give his consent
was that he should be buried with military
honors, and even in this he desired that
the ceremonies should be as simple as pos-
siblc.”

A telegram was received from St. Louis
signed by several prominent members of
the Grand Army posts there, requesting
that permission should be given to have
the casket lie for a time in a public hall in
that city without being unclosed, in order
that many of those who desired to do so
might pay their last respects to the dead
veteran in poison. It is probable, 110w-
ever, that this request w ill not be granted.

Admiral Porter’ 5 Funeral.

WASHINGTON, Ileb. 1'4”.———The arrange-
ments for the burial of the late Admiral
Porter are all complete, and the cere-
monies Tuesday afternoou promise to be
of an unusually imposing character. The
funeral will take place from the family
residence, in obedience to the expressed
wishes of the deceased.

The body will not be exposed to the pub-
lic view. The casket in which the body
will be buried is covered with royal purple
velvet. The spot selected by Admiral Por-
ter himself for the grave is one of the most
desirable at Arlington, and commands a
fine view of the city here and of the Poto-
mac river.

Rev. Dr. Douglass, of St. J olm’s Epis-
copal church, will ofliciate at the simple
services at the house. The burial will take
place with full naval honors. Commodore
Ramsay has charge of the funeral arrange-
ments. Rear Admiral Kimberly will be
in charge of the escort, which will number
3,000 marines, soldiers and militia.

The pallbearers will probably be as fol-
lows: Vice President Morton, Maj-Gen.
Schofield, UnitedStates army; Rear Ad-
miral Stevens, Rear Admiral Almy, Rear
Admiral Rodgers, Rear Admiral J ouett,
Rear Admiral Howell, Rear Admiral Cros—
by, Senator Hawlcy, Senator Manderson,
Senator McPherson, Representative Bou—
telle and Governor Pattison, of Pennsyl—
vania.

CIIATTAXOOGA, Tenn., Feb. iii—The fol-
lowing distinguished party of railroad
magnates spent yesterday in Chattanooga:
Calvin S. Brice, C. R. Cummings, S. A.
Baxter, George L. Bradley, Erskine M.
Phelps, Chicago. Mr. Brice said: “The
object of our visit is to look after Central
and South American trade and that with
Mexico.” From another member of the
party it was learned that they had gone
over the Monon route with the idea of get.—
